You can actually do this. Go to the calendar's View tab. Find the "Time Scale" drop-down button.

You may want to mute me more than usual. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil My local BP station has just finished installing a rapid EV charger on their forecourt. Even the petroleum companies understand the writing is on the wall yet we have disenfranchised fuckwits like Shane Jones manufacturing some existential crisis on the way unless we resume full resource, oil and gas extraction. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil If you want to read an #ODT subscriber paywalled article but have previously committed to not supporting their bigoted or racist editorial choices, you can view articles by using your browser's Reading Mode to see the plaintext version of the article. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1zg9…nh26 Wow you got a few replies there! Everyone keen to help you out! 😅 npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil Rather than winning lotto, I put an equivalent amount of the ticket price into both my kids' kiwisaver and shares every week and discuss financial literacy with them. 🤷 npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil Listening to #NZMorningReport headline with Aotearoa's billionaire list, presumably so we know who to destroy locally first. #DestroyAllBillionaires npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil Are there any NZ based @npub16rd…3v3k providers doing personal accounts for NZ resident users? npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1hj5…z9wr Yes, that is a tactic I've seen too. I'm not getting on board their new rewards programme because of how bungled I've seen the rollout with its security and privacy. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil How on earth this passes muster with the #CommerceCommission I have no idea. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil More and more, Countdown/Woolworths are aggressively promoting their own branded goods on the shelves with pricing set substantially below competitors' items. These in-house brands are able to leverage the oppressive cost of living (which they themselves have deliberately contributed to) to drive consumer behaviour away from the diminishing competing options. Much of their products are made in China, as was the case in this picture. https://media.mstdn.io/mstdn-media/media_attachments/files/112/585/343/353/173/094/original/2a2c53df7362cb89.jpg npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1gaw…mg7y Solid effort!! Well done! npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil I see this is a thing we're still doing in 2024. Absolutely humiliating. https://media.mstdn.io/mstdn-media/media_attachments/files/112/584/582/381/452/500/original/df9fb1c571737947.jpg npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1hj5…z9wr Yeah nice. This makes a lot of sense and is very timely. Are other organisations looking to invest in this or similar projects do you know? npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub13f0…ca07 I'm so grateful for the Cybertrick - sorry, 'truck'. The material for memes and jokes is going to be a goldmine for years to come. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1tgu…w2vd Interesting changes in messaging here. This one hasn't been a particularly elegant episode, has it? 😬 npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1gaw…mg7y Superb call! Great loop. I'm assuming you went over on Rachel's boat? npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil This is possibly the most Australian thing that ever Australia'd.

No accountability for misrepresenting the data as a whole. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil Always, always, always distrust any stats and numbers coming out of the mouth of any politician, but ESPECIALLY this government! https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/518783/police-foot-patrols-fell-by-6-percent-across-auckland-city-between-october-and-april-data-shows npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub139m…gzcx Yes!

Could a "neighbourhood library" type of thing be a useful service for local communities? Sort of like Lilliput Libraries but with an actual lending record centrally maintained somehow? npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1u30…y7yf Actually, I did check it and you're right - he's lying. https://media.mstdn.io/mstdn-media/media_attachments/files/112/560/535/863/666/399/original/2fe8ecd983502196.png npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil My shared working space is letting its premises be used for the C3 church. Hadn't heard about that flavour of religion so looked it up. Fascinating comparison between what the NZ version openly say they support (https://www.c3church.org.nz/our-culture) vs what the US megachurch home base has as its stated values (https://c3churchglobal.com/about-what-we-believe). Note the additional two values it holds in the US that NZ is quietly omitting. I'd strongly doubt those views aren't shared though. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil How does Mark Mitchell assert that his government has increased beat police in the CBD by 60% since they took office and in the same breath admit he doesn't know what that rate was under the previous government?! He wasn't able to cite a starting figure but seems very confident about the 58% increase on it! He's quoting spurious stats on #NZMorningReport. Dodgy bloody MPs trying to play with numbers. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1ksv…7h3s Stellarium on Android. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1ksv…7h3s 12P/Pons-Brooks?

He's a total paper bag though and I'm sure his opinion will float in a different direction once he picks up the breeze of public sentiment. https://media.mstdn.io/mstdn-media/media_attachments/files/112/494/197/415/906/752/original/8633a64dfc9a2e3e.png npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub13f0…ca07 I so need you to review this one! https://mastodon.me.uk/@CatherineFlick/112492260411837386 npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub180f…cqxc What the actual hell?! npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1668…ttqz wwwwwWow! npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil If you're in a corporate environment and are literally *anything* with "manager" in the title, or are middle management or higher, then you should have a bare minimum grasp of how to deliver effective presentations for visual & cognitive impact. I'm continuously horrified with the frequency I see walls of text on a slide that people just read aloud to their audience. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil @npub1ksv…7h3s https://searx.hu/search returns good results. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil It shouldn't require a tragic event to force action from local government agencies or social service providers like Police but here we are again, apparently. It's not just about kids being violent. We see the products of wide social harms such as drugs, alcohol, family violence and more in schools and often it's the schools who can see those behaviours early but, along with social support agencies, aren't adequately resourced to provide adequate interventions and wraparound services. npub1juvga2j92cf7rsauvqldvf6ptrnv48k096s0d2uxwl5ff8hr9qxq7w9xwq Phil Oh wait.
